Resident Evil 4

Capcom raises the bar for what a good remake is and simultaneously preserves Resident Evil 4's legacy as a genre-defining experience and one of the greatest games of all time.

Back in 2008, Capcom gave us a game that redefined the survival horror genre. Who knew it could continue to refine itself nearly two decades later.

Resident Evil 4 is a masterfully streamlined reimagining of Leon and Ashley's 18 years of the original adventure. It smartly evolves several aspects of that game to make it more exciting to the modern audience. By doing all this, it once again cements itself as the greatest action horror game of all time.

Resident Evil 4 is not only better than the original game, but it's simply the best Resident Evil game out there.

“Resident Evil 4 finally gets the remake it deserves: a total reimagining that's every bit as bold and unpredictable as the original.”

One of the most important games in the industry returns once again. The Resident Evil 4 remake takes us back to old garbage, but does it in such a fresh and fantastic way that no one should blame it.

So, to summarise Resident Evil 4 on the Xbox One: the controls are as awkward as ever, the camera is still pretty dire, and the graphics are a marginal improvement over the previous generations’ port job. But, it doesn’t matter. This is Resident Evil 4 on yet another format which means those who love it can love it once again and those who have never sampled it before can now do so on their fancy ...

The original Resident Evil 4 didn’t just completely subvert the series’ survival horror roots; it laid the foundations for all over-the-shoulder third person action games that followed. It’s an all-time classic. Capcom also went on to port it to every conceivable platform, so we’ve had no trouble revisiting it over the years. With creative variety and pacing that puts most modern blockbusters to s...

Experiencing Resident 4 HD, everything is as it ever was. The visual upgrade is well received, and the game’s narrative is as terrifying and enticing as ever. Capcom have played this one safe, as it would have been nice to see them try and mix things up with a new inventory system. Even if it wasn’t implemented into the default set-up, the option could have provide many players with an answer to m...
